Answer: 1.2metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Five years ago, tree was 4.9m

Today, tree is 6.1m

Subtract 4.9m from 6.1m

Tree has grown by 1.2m

In a random sample of males, it was found that 28 write with their left hands and 210 do not. In a random sample of females, it

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $p_{M} \geq p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} < p_{W}$

b) $z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271$

c) $p_v =P(Z$

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant lower than the proportion of female that write with their left hand

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{M}=28$ represent the number of men that write with their left hand

$X_{W}=62$ represent the number of women that write with their left hand

$n_{M}=210+28=238$ sample of male selected

$n_{W}=62+435=497$ sample of female selected

$p_{M}=\frac{28}{238}=0.118$ represent the proportion of men that write with their left hand

$p_{W}=\frac{62}{497}=0.125$ represent the proportion of women that write with their left hand

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{M} \geq p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} < p_{W}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{28+62}{238+497}=0.122$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271$

4) Statistical decision

We have a significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ , and now we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one left side test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant loer than the proportion of female that write with their left hand .

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

We have that:

$\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}$

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

$\frac{5}{6}$

and

$\frac{5}{6}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

We have that:

$1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}$

So, we have that the pair of numbers

$\frac{6}{7}$

and

$\frac{12}{7}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

$\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}$

and

$3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}$

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

Enrico deposited $2000, in a savings account. Each month he will deposit an additional $25. Which kind of function best models t

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<em> Linear model </em>

The function f(x) which represents the total amount in the savings account in x months is given by: f(x)=25x+2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Enrico deposited $2000 in a savings account.

Each month he will deposit additional $25.

This shows that the rate at which the amount is increasing each month is constant.

Therefore, the model will be linear with a slope 25.

So , if x represents the number of months.

and f(x) represents the corresponding amount in the account.

Then the function f(x) is given by: f(x)=25x+2000
